Hope for Women has launched ‘Ranmui’, a book that conveys the stories of 26 women hailed to pioneers in different industries of the Maldives. 

Ranmui, which literally means ‘pearl’, has been in the making since 2015, and was launched at a ceremony where Gender Minister Zenysha Shaheed Zaki was the chief guest on Wednesday. 

The book includes profiles and biographies of women who have been long serving in the state, civil society, and other industries. 

Minsiter Zenysha had commended Hope for Women for Ranmui and its recognition of those that have contributed to the country.

She expressed her confidence that it would inspire generations of women and girls to aspire towards achievement.
